The Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders offers three programs. The first leads to a bachelor's (B.A.) degree. The second (Pregraduate Certification
Program) is for individuals with a bachelor's degree in another field, and it leads to eligibility for admission to a graduate program in speech- language
pathology. The third program leads to a master's degree (M.A.).
